Americans With Disabilities Act

Ready to Take the Next Step?

The The United States Congress passed the ADA in order to protect employees from being discriminated against because of a disability. It not only prohibits disability discrimination, but also requires employers to make reasonable accommodations to permit disabled employees to perform a job's essential functions. The ADA was enacted primarily to 1) provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate to eliminate discrimination against individuals with disabilities; 2) to provide consistent, strong, clear and enforceable standards that address discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and 3) to ensure that the federal government plays a primary role in enforcing standards set forth under the Act.

Employers Covered by ADA

The ADA covers persons or entities engaged in an industry affecting commerce with 15 or more employees on each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.
